[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 803547, member: 9115"] Wow, thank all you guys. My biggest worry was he looked short to me. Keren may be right that his depth makes him look short to me. My other genetics were longer animals, and less depth. Got to say 'nother thing, been raising cattle forever, and actually read other posts on CT and listened to them. I was going the wrong way with my cattle chasing the premiums at the feedlot. I realized other people don't grain and baby their cows into condition,even tho' around here it's the norm with the avialvability of grain. This is the second bull I have changed to some of the OCC background, and recently bought 25 females. Bill Conley at Conley angus has become my mentor, and likes to spend my money on cattle. Selling 35 head of 2.3.4 yearolds Monday to change direction. No that's wrong cuz' I already have chased two in with the keepers cuz' I couldn't part with them. No more feedbucket or 1800 lb. cows. The smallest Raven heifer was standing next to my biggest cow, an 8 year old, the other day and I thought," That cow has raised a calf that big." Not really, but there was a difference. Now I gotta' figure how many 4-5 frame cows I can run on the same pasture as the 7-8-9 frames ran on. Gonna' pay around 3k or a little more for the bull. Thank you all again, didn't expect all postives. gs [/QUOTE]
